Samsung XCover Pro Unboxing and First Impressions By xnappo

Harris is gonna: do it quick unboxing of the Samsung X cover pro, not a lot of stuff on YouTube, so I figured I would go ahead and show you guys what this looks like I'm, a big fan of the active series, of course, some kind of discontinued at- and this looks to be like pretty good here. Actually Orchestra Microsoft I originally was gonna place, the order through Amazon, but they were taking forever, so my spot shifted pretty quickly. So there you have. It looks like a phone here. It is next to the s8 active, so you can see just a little taller and just a hair wider see. Of course, main reason.

People are probably interested in is because it actually takes a battery, and it will be interesting to see if they make a back cover or one of those adapters like back in the olden days when you could put a wireless adapter it into a thumb. We got the char turn up here and the battery a little longer here see go alright man booting up I'll, go ahead and get it set up, get my stuff transferred over file fella and a minute here: okay, I'm back now, I've got everything installed on the phone. It's actually been several days, I didn't quite get back to this is suicide would have like so now. I've actually had a lot more time to play with this thing. So a couple of things.

First, off that I know people are going to be interested in that I'm actually somewhat indifferent to the screen. It's not a LED I can't really say that I care or have noticed any difference from my active or my notes that I had before that it's a little cooler. Maybe that's about that's about it! The resolution perfectly fine, but I'm, not picky about that the camera same thing. It's got some neat new tricks with two lenses, I'm big into the real low-light performance or anything along those lines. As long as the camera works I'm pretty happy, so unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to give you a big, in-depth technical review of those two features.

A couple of interesting things, so one is I noticed on the battery that it actually has the RF or the NFC built into the battery itself. That is possibly unfortunate, probably because you know what soon as Samsung starts, selling the batteries they're going to be quite expensive and not sure what that's going to mean for third-party batteries, we'll see what happens as more accessories become available. The other thing is the logos. Some previous Samsung devices have had Pogo chargers, not phones, but some of their tablets, but there's only two locos and interesting because in the literature about the logos it mentions fast-charging, but I'm not really sure if the fast-charging is with the logos or really only with through USB, because I think in order to do real like fast charging, you have to have negotiation to change the voltage and scale it really curious what these locos do and what the charters are going to be like, but so far there's nothing available and all I know is that there's a couple faux goes there all right as far as good things, the feel of it's perfect, the back, much better than the active. It's a nice drippy surface you're, not going to drop.

It basically is like the ideal case that I would buy for normal phones. But of course the big advantage of having the phone itself be durable is that you get a lot more battery in the same size frame because you're not doubling up on the amount of plastic in the device. Let's see here so the know, the looks I mean it's again if I was going to buy a phone case. This is what I would want. The phone case to look like um durability seems about, like my active was me, I.

Think I liked some design choices a little better, but in general it feels really solid and the extra buttons are kind of cool they didn't go and make it a Bixby. Only thing they've got software in here where you can easily go and program it to do all sorts of neat stuff by default. This top one was turning on the flashlight just pushing it once, which was obviously just waiting for it to turn on in your pocket and cause problems, but you make the buttons do think you move the screen, locked I think having maybe a long press to turn the flashlight on might be cool. You can launch apps with it as well the speed again, it's not going to be your latest performing performance, but it's snappy, certainly for the two things. I use the phone for no problems whatsoever, but I'm not begun to play any games there of high demand.

I actually prefer the processors to be a little more economical with the battery so that it lasts longer, I'm, a heavy user of the phone for internet usage and work usage, so I really need the battery to last a long time, and it does ok now on to the bad things. This is a weird one that I really didn't expect that I hate the haptics, the haptics feel weird I, don't know how else to describe it, but it's just not what I'm used to Samsung phone. It's not, obviously not something I can demonstrate very well, but it's just not the same haptic feedback that I've gotten used to from Samsung phones. Again, as I mentioned the beginning, it was I'm a big wireless charging fan I really like doing having that capability, but you know I printed 3d printer now the phone doc that is form-fitting to the phone, so that I'm, not gonna, wear out that USB port too quickly and once the Pogo chargers are available. I might actually prefer public charging to wireless charging because it should be faster and which kind of gets me on to the last point, which is well so far.

No accessories I've actually ordered a glass screen protector from eBay, but it's not the right size. So, no accessories yet really, and no one else to talk to you. So you know no other owners so come on guys. Ask me some questions or comment if you've got one as well and any interesting things that you found, and we'll see how this phone does in the future.
